I like seeing big blockbusters with a packed mainstream audience because it’s an experience, but for movies I know the mainstream audience is less likely to appreciate, I’d rather watch it in a different cinema. What I hate is watching older movies at revival houses (like the Red Vic in SF) because a lot of people aren’t there because they actually like the movies enough to dismiss some of the more outdated aspects of them, but are just off the street looking for something to do. Then you end up surrounded by a lot of idiots laughing because they can’t appreciate the art of the film or any film at all, while I’m actually trying to watch a movie I really like on the big screen. That’s a horrible experience.
